The tale of Team India’s three Test series wins in England

India has won three Test series thus far in England in 1971, 1986 and 2007.

Indian team on tour of England in 1932 | GettyWinning a Test match in England is a herculean task. If achieved, winning a Test series should be boasted for a long time given that it is an arduous task. England has modeled a Test territory that has become almost unconquerable by the visitors. 

1932 became the year when India made their Test debut and officially toured England for the first time.

June 25, 1932, was a special day for the Indians, as the team played the first official Test match against England at the Lord’s ground. CK Nayudu captained Team India on their maiden tour of England. However, a star-studded England team dominated the visitors easily in the Test series. 

But how have been India as a visitor to England for Test matches since then? They have managed to win only three series in England to date.

The Indian team has three different tales of Test series wins in England. Each having three different captains as the leaders of the heroic winning team and each victory coming in three different decades.
